"Up those stone steps I climb. Hail this joyful day's return. Into its great shadowed vault I go. Hail the Pentecostal morn. The reading is from Luke 24. Where Christ returns to his loved ones. I look at the stone apostles. Think that it's alright for some ..." There is something so perfect about Nick Cave's Brompton Oratory. A beautiful brooding song set in a magnificent Catholic church in the heart of Chelsea & Kensington. Thank god for London's churches ...A site dedicated to songs about London. As simple as that. The only rules are that the songs must be brilliant and that the blindingly obvious numbers are excluded. The songs may be explicitly about London or obliquely about the city in some way. This is a project that was deliberately designed to last for one year. It will remain live for people to explore. So please enjoy discovering the lost and found songs of London, and do please spread the word.

Brompton Oratory
"Up those stone steps I climb. Hail this joyful day's return. Into its great shadowed vault I go. Hail the Pentecostal morn. The reading is from Luke 24. Where Christ returns to his loved ones. I look at the stone apostles. Think that it's alright for some ..." There is something so perfect about Nick Cave's Brompton Oratory. A beautiful brooding song set in a magnificent Catholic church in the heart of Chelsea & Kensington. Thank god for London's churches ...
